  • No. When Microsoft is making the hardware, they can lock it down so nothing else can be installed. Mostly with signed boot loaders and drivers.

    Remember when the PS3 actually allowed other operating system installations. Then, one day, they pushed out a new firmware that disabled that ability.

    Maybe eventually someone figures out a hack. But these days, the hacks are complex enough, with many other available alternatives, that you’re looking at barely dozens of people doing it.













  • Are you using the working keys on the builtin keyboard?

    It would be great to find a software solution.

    A hardware solution would be to unplug the keyboard if you are always using an external keyboard. As long as it will bolt with the internal keyboard unplugged.

    Plus, the other person’s suggestion to replace the keyboard.

    Kinda risky, but you could also see if you can unsolder or cut the track to that specific broken key. There is the risk of completely borking the keyboard, though.
